How do I set up HP printers in digital phone
environments?
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone
services. For a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN,
or FoIP), digital-to-analog filters or converters might be necessary when
setting up the printer for fax.
Note: Depending on the phone company, the printer might not be
compatible with all digital service lines or providers, in all digital
environments, or with all digital-to-analog converters. Contact the phone
company to determine which setup options are best.
Note: When setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system
that has different ring patterns for internal and external calls, make sure
to dial the printer fax number using an external number for recording
the ring pattern.
